I never knew it, but when we had our most recent baby, when I was going into the delivery room (Csection), the nurse asked if I had a camera so she could take pictures. I said I didn't we could bring one. So I guess it's common now.

Camera's yes, but our hospital says stills only (I've never taken a picture before the weigh in for what its worth, so there's no way I'd have a desire to video the delivery.

Having said that, my first born came out and as soon as I bent down to take her she grabbed a hold of my glasses and wouldn't let go. Didn't realize how rare a good grasp reflex was until well into raising the second one.
